## Installation

### Compiling source code

Runtime dependencies are Qt X11 Extras (although libfm-qt works under Wayland too)
and menu-cache (not all libfm features are provided by libfm-qt yet).  
Additional build dependencies are CMake,
[lxqt-build-tools](https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt-build-tools) and, optionally, Git
for pulling latest VCS checkouts.

Code configuration is handled by CMake. CMake variable `CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX`
has to be set to `/usr` on most operating systems. Depending on the way library
paths are dealt with on 64bit systems, variables like `CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR` may
have to be set as well.  

To build run `make`, to install `make install`, which accepts variable `DESTDIR`
as usual.  

### Binary packages

Official binary packages are provided by all major Linux and BSD distributions. Just use your package manager to search for string `libfm-qt`
